(The above link is to my newly-minted Beanworld page. Concerning the t-shirt design which appears further down on that page, I have a humble suggestion. My attempt to make one for myself didn't work very well. However, if you had that t-shirt professionally made, I would certainly buy several of them, and I suspect that others would as well. Just a thought...)

All I can say is, I took one look at jjs's Mr Spook t-shirt, slapped my forehead, and exclaimed "Why didn't I think of that!" Absolutely excellent design work, my friend. I look forward to looking through your site and pondering your opinions regarding the Beanworld mythos.

A Chowraid(tm) game might be a lot of fun, and a good use for such pieces, and a way to get gamers interested in TOTB. The idea reminds me of Snit's Revenge for some reason, probably because of the David vs. Goliath theme.

I've made a career out of a sort of real-life business-oriented gaming. I've been paid to locate and interpret the signs and trends emerging in the marketplace. I suspect that this encompasses a similar thought process to that of strategic gaming, however, my understanding of gaming-for-fun wouldn't even fill a thimble. But what little I DO know about gaming has always indicated that my premise "Beanworld. It's not a place--it's a process" is inherently rich in gaming potential. I think the nature of the responses to this post have confirmed this hunch.
